KWin with the XRender compositing backend. Default for kubuntu. When
disabling desktop effects the problem is gone.

The problem seems also timing related. When lazarus build with
-dVerboseIDEDocking -dCHECK_POSITION, lazarus was showing the windows in
the correct position at the 2nd restart. Without it, 3 sometimes 4
restarts were needed. When build with -dVerboseIDEDocking
-dCHECK_POSITION -dVerboseAllAutoSize which produces many more debug
lines, lazarus started up correctly the first time. The wrong WMSize
messages reported earlier weren't in the longer log.

This doesn't really explain why a second or third run of the application
fixes the issue.
